As with most people, I have limited funds. I'd love to get a million guns, but alas I cannot. My current HD pistol is an earlier Sig P220. Its a little worn, but functions fine, and has never given me any issues. My accuracy with it is quite good. My problem is twofold. 1. Id love to get something new, but cannot, therefore I'm stuck with what I have, or I have to trade what I have towards something else if I want to get something else. 2. I like Sigs, I shoot them well, but for a wide profile .45, I'm not sure I can justify it being only single stack (came with 7 round mags, and I bought a factory 10 rounder). I'm a huge fan of the 226, but for a .45 Id almost rather have a 1911 (slimmer profile, 1 extra round per mag) or something same profile but double stacked (FNP-45, which is 14 rounds, or Glock 21 which is 13 rounds). I went to my local gun store, and handled the FNP as well as a couple entry level 1911s (500-600) range. I like them all. My friend has a Springfield operator that I've shot before, and the groups from it and the Sig are the exact same. The 2 1911s I handled were a Taurus PT 1911 (which I've read is good for the price) and the Para 1911 GI expert with the fiber optic sights. I had never handeled any of Para's guns, but I was surprised. I LOVE the sights on the Para. I've also always liked the profile and fit and finish on the FNP series of guns, though I'd change the grips, plus 14 rounds of .45 is quite nice. I'm not a huge glock fan, but I was also told to consider the Glock 21 (only glock I've shot is my friend's new Glock 20 in 10mm). Input much appreciated!
